Herd about the new farm competition?

The contest is looking for farmers who maximise the returns and potential of their herd of cattle whether they farm on a big or small scale.

Ian Murray, chief livestock steward and organiser of the competition, said: “It doesn’t matter if you have a small pedigree herd or a large commercial herd, anyone based in Northumberland can enter the competition.

“We will be looking at the general management of the herd, along with the ease of management.

“If your system works well for your farm individually and the herd has a good physical performance, we would urge you to enter.”
